rear control arm or track arm?

[davejal1991]

The rear drivers side control arm on my truck needs to be replaced. The bushing is gone so the metal arm and bracket are rubbing. The problem is im not sure what the exact name of this part is. Is it called a rear cobtrol arm or a trac arm or trail arm or something else?

Ya know---this is going to be your call but some trucks didn't even have the rear control arms from the factory.

Do you tow? Most off road guys here remove them.

If you do want to replace them, you might try ped5stang, he is the forum used parts vendor.
